Storytelling

Storycorp (www.storycorps.net) travels the country collecting stories to be archived at the Library of Congress.
People sit down in a silver trailor in front of a microphone, put on headphones and tell a story from their lives. How brave. NPR plays one of their stories every Friday morning. It's so great, but I often miss the segment. I just learned that you can subscribe to the podcast for free. As Joan Didion's awesome new anthology reminds us, "We tell ourselves stories in order to live."
